[quote=Anonymous]Regarding getting your younger child into PK-3, yes you will need to fill out a post-lottery application to even have a shot at getting your child in. You can apply via the My School website using the address you expect to have (though keep in mind you would need to be able to produce proof that you actually live there before you can enroll, but you can apply before you close on the house).

PPs are right that PK spots at Maury are not guaranteed even for IB families with sibling preference (which your younger daughter would have once your K student enrolls). However, there are several nearby public PK programs that many Maury families use in this situation -- Miner, Appletree (there are two campuses near the Maury zone), Wheatley, Two Rivers Young, maybe JO Wilson (currently in a swing space right next to Two Rivers Young, their usual campus is under construction and a bit further away). You would use the lottery to apply for spots at any of these, and some of them are feasible as a post-lottery application, since Maury is not.

Regarding IEPs and SpEd education, my experience is that DCPS is pretty good with this, though I don't have direct experience with the program at Maury. But we have been through it at another Hill elementary and been largely happy, though you always have to advocate and pay attention to what is going on. I have heard good things about Maury's administration though (better than about my school's) and having friendly, responsive admin help a lot with addressing issues as they arise.[/quote]
